Some people might call that fraud. And bragging about it might just get you in trouble one day. And the part where you say, "tell them u will go on ppcgeeks.com and bad mouth their location." sounds suspiciously like extortion.
"i forgot to get insurance"? That's crap. When you sign up, they push it so hard there's no way you "forgot". You didn't want to spend the money when it was offered and then realized you were f'ed when the phone crapped out. What other product in the world offers that kind of policy? [Spend $6/month and we warranty your electronic device for as long as you pay after the factory warranty runs out. Even the electronics stores will only go for a year or two after factory warrany expires.] You just explained how
you abused the system and
cost those of us who legitimately pay for the insurance all this time more money every year.
I hope you don't have the same problem with health/life insurance. Telling the hospital/mortuary that you forgot and signing up before you get there will cause some
major issues.
